Millions of people in developing countries depend on farming. But they are trapped in poverty by the rules of world trade, keeping those at the start of supply chains powerless to earn enough to cover their costs and with nothing to save for their families.

But with just one step you can be part of changing this…

Your step for Fairtrade can be as simple as trying a new Fairtrade product, or as big and bold as getting your favourite café or restaurant to use Fairtrade products . Every single one counts, because together they lead to life-changing projects in developing countries. We’ll tell you about some of these when you register your step

, it’s hard to be good. Buying ethically pdocured clothing is very expensive. And a society that has grown accustomed to inexpensive (practically disposable!) clothing, whether because of ignorance of or indifference to the conditions in which it was manufactured, will have a hard time adjusting to paying so much more for ethical clothing. Buying ethical clothing is a privilege that is only available to the relatively wealthy. Which is pretty ironic, when you think about it

Get on board with Fairtrade

What are you going to do to contribute to a fairer Borough and a fairer world? We need supporters to encourage restaurants and cafes to use Fairtrade products; we need students to encourage their schools and colleges to work for Fairtrade status; we need workers to encourage their employers to use Fairtrade products.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP?
